"Boom!"
The flames exploded on the test field and black smoke blocked everyone's eyes. They looked around and tried to see what was happening in the field.
At this moment, a pale green light glowed in the black smoke, and in the next second, the black smoke was split in half and scattered toward the surroundings. When the black smoke dissipated, there was no one in front of him. Kyre held the sword tightly and blocked it.
"Clank!"
There was a metallic sound of weapons clashing behind him. Kyre kicked backward with a roundabout kick, and Aurora also pulled away in an instant, with the soles of her feet rubbing against the tip of his nose.
Just as Kyre was about to pursue, a slash suddenly appeared next to him. His pupils shrank, and he raised the sword across his chest. Even though he blocked it in time, he was shocked by the attack and took a small step back.
What exactly was going on?
He looked at Aurora, who was standing in the distance, suspiciously. Why did her attack appear out of thin air?
"Kyre! This kid's fighting style is very strange, you have to be careful!" Henrick shouted from the audience.
"I said... old man, you're too deceiving. It's still fine to ask Lord Kyre to give the test, but now you're still yapping in the audience..." Aurora pointed at Henrick in the audience and shook her face. She shook her head, implying that the old man was completely shameless.
"You brat! You are shameless! If you're a man, you fight Kyre fairly, you bastard!"
"Old man, are you pretending to be confused? I'm a woman, not a man, and Lord Kyre is so powerful, yet you still let me face him? So, who exactly is the one unfair??"
Henrick, who was jumping violently, choked up for a moment, and he also realized that he didn't have the qualifications to cry about fairness.
"Hmph! I'm too lazy to argue with you." He angrily walked to the side chair and sat down, no longer looking at the field.
"Young lady, you are very interesting." Kyre also saw Henrick like this for the first time, saying, "But I can also feel that you haven't tried your best to fight, come on, let me see your true strength!"
He took a deep breath as if there was a flash of a sword in his eyes, and Aurora's expression became serious. They looked directly at each other, and the next second, they launched an attack at the same time.
[Elemental conversion has been completed—converted to earth element]
After the short confrontation between Flamberge Waltz and Kyre's Sword, Aurora was repelled several steps by the powerful force.
At this time, her body began to emit a light yellow light, and the fire element in her body was successfully transformed into an earth element. Then, she released the magic cannon with her left hand, blasting shells made of rocks at him.
"Small tricks!"
Kyre swung his sword to split the magic cannon coming from the front, and then dodged to the left to avoid another magic cannon.
At this moment, Aurora also quickly distanced himself from him on the field, and, from time to time, released magic cannons at him to hinder his footsteps.
Even if she was close to him several times, she could successfully avoid his attack range.
"Why is this young lady so familiar with my sword skills?"
Kyre, who missed another shot, was surprised in his heart. Although he reserved his strength to attack, Aurora could find the opening of his attack every time and avoid it in time, as if she could predict his move in advance.
And... Kyre noticed that many rocks had piled up around the test field. These rocks seemed to be disorderly, but he got a strange feeling about them.
"Sword Slash!"
Kyre yelled violently, the sword emitted a green light, and there was wind spinning around it. He suddenly slashed forward, and a tornado-like stream of sword energy poured out, rushing towards the rocks in the field.
Aurora couldn't do what she planned; frantically mobilized the magic power in her body to increase her speed by a knot, and with a force on her back foot, the whole person was ejected like a spring and rushed towards the sword energy.
"Lady Aurora!"
"Oh, My Goddess!"
Seeing this scene, Gard and Sharon's hearts jumped in their throats. This was one of Kyre's famous skills! Even if he had controlled the strength, they didn't think Aurora could resist it.
Under the blessing of magic power, Aurora came to the rock block before the sword energy arrived. He thrust the Flamberge Waltz into her hand on the test bench and saw a fiery pillar of fire rising into the sky in front of the sword. In the next second, Kyre's powerful sword energy collided with this pillar of fire.
Boom!
The collision between the wind element and the fire element caused the pillar of fire to expand in a full circle and become violent.
"Lord Kyre, be careful! I can't control this thing now."
Aurora pulled out her sword forcefully and swiped at Kyre. The pillar of fire that was originally pointing vertically upward was repeatedly pulled by something and turned toward Kyre.
Even the people who were standing outside the arena could feel the scorching heat from Aurora's magic, let alone Kyre, who was facing it head-on in the arena.
Henrick was also sweating at this moment, he couldn't understand how Aurora could unleash such a terrifying attack?! This kind of fire elemental magic was comparable to the attack caused by a third-ring magician.
"Nice move!" The sword in Kyre's hand buzzed, and the wind elements visible to the naked eye gathered on the sword from all directions.
"Huh?" With the gathering of the wind elements, Kyre felt more and more strange feelings in his heart. It's getting stronger and stronger, it's like... very uncomfortable...
Uncomfortable?!
Kyre's eyes widened suddenly, looking at the rocks on the field in disbelief.
At first, he just thought it was a kind of battle magic from Aurora, but now, with the blessing of the wind element, he could clearly perceive clearly that the wind element around him was disrupted under these messy rocks. The flow of the gap between them became chaotic, causing his attack to be weakened invisibly.
This weird feeling was the result of slight changes in the battle he was used to.
"Sure enough, she is an interesting person."
The corner of Kyre's mouth rose as he held the sword horizontally behind his waist to make a slashing movement. The moment the pillar of fire rushed in front of him, he suddenly raised his head. The people present only saw a green light flashing past the original roar on the test field. The pillar of fire was split by a sword slash and splashed in all directions.
"Ah! Fire! Fire is coming!"
"Run!"
"Damn it, don't block me!"
The people watching the duel were frightened by this sudden change and rushed to the outside, hoping to grow a pair of feet, but there were too many people and they got stuck at the door.
"It's over!"
They closed their eyes in despair and waited for the rain of fire to end their lives.
At this critical time, Flamme, who had been standing silently on the court, raised her hand, and the fire and rain all over the sky froze in the air for a while, then gathered in her palm and disappeared without a trace.
"Flamme, good job!" Aurora gave her a thumbs-up inside the arena.
"Fyuhh…"
Seeing this scene, Kyre also breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a test that almost turned into a tragedy. Fortunately, this girl came to help.
He put away the sword and slowly walked in front of Aurora, extending his hand to her in a friendly way. "You are very good, young lady, and I believe you will be qualified as the leader of the mercenary group."
Aurora smiled and reached out to hold her hand.
After this test was over, Aurora felt very happy when she saw Henrick stamping his seal with an aggrieved face, and Flamme's mercenary certification review was also completed under Kyre's instruction. Judging by her ability to directly control the spread of the wildfire, she didn't need to pass the test to prove her ability anymore.
"Lady Aurora, now that the transfer of the mercenary group has been completed, do you want to continue using the previous name?" Sharon stopped the pen in her hand and raised her head to ask.
Aurora shook her head and reached out to pick up the quill pen on the side to fill in the new group name on the parchment: Glory.
